This, the first comprehensive book of its kind on Indian Astronomy, is a survey of the development of astronomy in India from the Vedic times to the present day. It aims to create an awareness about Indian Astronomy among interested students and general readers alike. The systematically planned contents and a lucid style enable the reader to be fairly proficient in the concepts, techniques and computational procedures developed by great Indian astronomers like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta and
Bhaskara II, over more than a millennium and a half. It provides, for the first time, computer programs for the computation of true planetary positions, lunar and solar eclipses, and contains a detailed and very useful bibliography. 124pp (1999) 240 × 160mm ISBN 9788173712050
